Default Pics of gold 501's

Here are a couple pics of gold 501's in case your interested in how they look. I will be running the stock tire for a nice stretch. I wont be able to mount them till spring. Chicago winters suck

Nope. the 501's are 5/8ths of an inch smaller lip but they actually fit the xB because they were designed for the car. This way, you wont need to roll your fenders.

Trust me I want to mount them but as I look out the windows right now I see alot of salt and snow on the ground so that right there makes me want to wait. Besides its no fun when its cold outside.

I really thinking about it. I only drive my car 2 times a week and a little bit on the weekend. First, I have to pick up some df 210's to lower it.

bBist and Next Level Motoring have similar prices. You will be paying roughly $400 shipped. Next Level are the only folks that have the gold 501s, as far as i know.

Does anyone have rubbing issues with these wheels at all? I am really thinking about getting a set next Saturday but I am a bit worried about rubbing or having to roll my fenders just to have these wheels. Please post reply if you have these wheels already on your XB.

The 501's are designed for the xB. You won't have any problems with rubbing. You won't have to roll the fenders or any of that work to get them to fit. Some people are adding a 5 mm spacer to the rear to even it out with the front. I will be mounting these with the stock tires, running some df 210's and running the echo strut to lower the front a 1/2" more.

Someone did use a otg 10mm spacer and is rubbing but that spacer put the rear rim out to the fender. He was also running a 2" drop spring. Just running the rim and lowering you will be fi



imboxtin-looks like we are even just ordered my springs and wheels you got your wheels already right i think you posted some pics? coolm should look good


Are cars are going to look like twins when its done.
